DIY SOS review: Baz and local heroes come to the rescue of stricken firefighter 

Another moving episode of DIY: SOS saw people in Athlone do their bit for Pa Berry 

Baz Ashmawy at the home of Pa Berry in Athlone for DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland. 

  To paraphrase Mark Twain, there are three certainties in life: ‘death, taxes, and the popularity of property shows.’ Yes, a cynic might roll their eyes at another attempt to rethink a renovation format, but DIY SOS is most definitely a property show with a difference.

This week the team adapted a home for Pa Berry, who suffered a catastrophic injury as a member of Athlone Fire Brigade. His story - told with incredible courage - is one that is both moving and an inspiring starting point to the hour long programme.
